Okay i was surprised there wasn't a topic on this after searching.

I've my tickets booked for Friday. Should be a good show. Are you all booked up yet?

I was surprised the screening wasn't full when i went to book it to be honest.

I kinda don't want to go to the cinema now.

Okay i just saw it and i will make some general comments about what i thought then some spoiler stuff hidden.

Firstly i thought the film was okay. Maybe slightly above average. It didn't blow my mind or anything. I'll just say it is NOT better than the Dark Knight but even without comparing it really when i was watching it i wasn't like "oh my god this film is fucking astounding" i was like it's okay. When i went to see the Dark Knight i was like that when i was watching it, i was on the edge of my seat. It just wasn't the case with this.

Like it wasn't a bad film, i would outright say it was. It seemed to play up the jokes a lot. I'm not sure why this was. The second film did have jokes with the Joker (obviously by name) but they seemed a bit weird or out of place here - granted some where kinda funny but some of them just seemed forced.

Bane was good. His voice was really cool it sounded like a mixture of Psycho Mantis and Deckard Cain i thought. He was a good villain and had plenty of good lines/monologues.

As for the plot, it was pretty generic i thought, it didn't really wow me in that department. The scenes with Michael Caine i thought were pretty bad, the acting was a bit crap and the dialogue was a bit, "you serious?"

Okay spoiler time.
[SPOILER:e54fc131c1]Right the ending was total BS lol. I wanted Batman to die and it was really cheesy and annoying how it cut to Caine sitting in the restaurant which was referenced earlier in the film about "oh i want to see you Mr Wayne sitting across from me in my dream or whatever and they fucking did that at the end. Him sitting with Catwoman. I was like are you serious? You just should have let him die and that's it.

However it seemed almost tacked on at the end i am hoping that Alfred just went mad or some shit at the end and that's how he wanted it to turn out and it was all in his head because i am nearly 100% sure he was distraught and sitting having a drink and then he looks over and there he is with Selina Kyle.

Also if they make a fucking sequel with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robin i am going to become destroyer of the world because it was said there would be no more Batmans but that doesn't mean there won't be Robins![/SPOILER:e54fc131c1]

[SPOILER:6c057beb44] the more i think about Batmans death the return makes less sense (at the end in the restaurant).

It was clearly stated that the blast radius for the nuke was something like 4 or 6 miles - it was one of those two. It showed him in the bat and then the nuke went off. There is no possible way that he could have ejected and the bat flew outside the radius in which he would have got killed. The nuke would have to have got him i.e. he would have ejected and got in the blast radius.

This is now the ending i am sticking to and that Alfred went mad in the end with sorrow and he thought he saw him and Selina after heavy drinking.[/SPOILER:6c057beb44]
